Lyrics
Rah-
Oh God
Extra extra
Read all about it
No peace
When it comes to real life matters
Aint a day or time of peace
But its plenty blood splatter
World wide by the beast
With a crooked antenna
Got a lot of words to speak
Almost on every channel
See the days and the nights
Are getting cold
Even closer to the summer
Seems the children getting old
And its war now
Someone done crept up here and stole
And its million white faces
And some of them were cloned
Now you think you know
But dont
What the bastard really want
Now they may hang me for this
But what you really missed
Was what the missiles
Really sent
Oh hot tempers
Hell is really in the mix
What the message really meant
Enslaved tagged names
Bodies dropped into rivers
Kissing ass behind the clans niggas
Reaching for they triggers
Southern hostility
Hospitality is mentioned
They tell you that theyre thankful
But youre unwelcome to visit
Come again , come again
You heard me nigga
Listen !
Its bloody traces of murder
Niggas slaughtered by color
Hanging sisters to brothers
The man clothed in colors
Arranged deaths over lovers
And bodies raped without rubbers
Enslaved
Entering corpses in graves
My people determined to escape
Fleeing from deadly gates
Aroused
Screaming for peace out their mouths
But hate set fire to their house
Freedom I heard a man shout
And there was death before honour
My folk I love but I wonder
Will I rest there up under
Knowing my world wasnt humble
I pray for my lord to take me
And all of these haters let be
Once the wars over
Ill sleep
But its not
So theres no peace
Rah-As long as theres war
All hell is breaking loose
Theyre even tracking your tattoos
you can run but you cant hide
The ink must be computerized
satellites up in the skies
Even tracking shoes sizes
Its best you open your eyes
Its a mans world
They held the dark man first
And let the women wonder til we
Gotta ourselves cursed
Whos the next idol
Can we keep the lord first
As it was written in the Bible
Now their glorifying man
With his technical expands
Its not easy but Im saying
Checkpoint
Securitys out of his league
Over thousands dressed in Armour
Strapped and willing
Just to bleed
Fighting for the deceased
Now a nations crying
They been afflicted with disease
Biochemicals in the air
Making it hard for us to breathe
So innocent lives are dropping
So we must retaliate
Lead us through those pearly gates
If I have made a mistake
Lord forgive me
Rah-Here it is
What are we fighting for
Its bloody traces of murder
Niggas slaughtered by color
Hanging sisters to brothers
The man clothed in colors
Arranged deaths over lovers
And bodies raped without rubbers
Enslaved
Entering corpses in graves
My people determined to escape
Fleeing from deadly gates
Aroused
Screaming for peace out their mouths
But hate set fire to their house
Freedom I heard a man shout
Rah -
As long as theres war
Theres no peace
As long as theres war
Theres no peace
As long as theres war
Theres no peace
The bomb a love
The bomb
Them please
Ooh life up in the city
Well it no easy
Destruction of the poor
Dark test poverty
Destruction of the soul
Man love vanity
Man a kill
Man a kill
Man feminine
The rich man wealthy
Still in the city
The poor mans worthy
In a holy place
Seek ye man just to walk into grace
As long as theres war
